i Such was the spirit in which an old
”ballad records the Irish insurrection
of 1798 which some have described as
the last expiring shriek of Irish free-
dom against English class oppression.
i It is well to make the charge of 0D-
pression against “the governing
classes’i rather than against England
as a nation, because it is only very
lately that the people of England 0b“
tained the right to rule their own coun-
tI‘Y, and it is but simple justice to say
that ever since the masses of English-1
men wrested their freedom from .a rul-
ing ring of nobles, they have been no—
bly undoing the past and making the
relations of England and Ireland more
sweet and kindly. It is not, therefore,
in any spirit of hostility to England,
or to the English people that the Irish
patriots will this summer hdld appro-
Priate ceremonies to celebrate the 531‘
land stand of the peasantry a century
ago against the laws which crushed
The Irish people and who, strange to
relate, numbered about 4,700,000 then
as now. The Irish have not numeric-
ally increased in Ireland during the
'past one hundred years, but they have
improved in wealth and in education,
and they are now in the enjoyment of I
more political rights than were their operpetratycl DY
fathers in 1798. A hundred years ago -
the condition of Ireland was utterly i
wretched. The people had no prop
yerty, no political rights, no schools, no
manufactures; they were mere renters
‘at the mercy of a body of taskmasters
planted among them'and whose lands
they cultivated for the bare necessi-’
ties of existence. “'" N-..“ 1-,» ,5
Their natural leaders had been
,driven out of the country after the
IHanoverian wars, and thus is furnish-
fed' the solution of the puzzle to Amer-
icans, that the names ofv‘an O’Donnell
Ias Duke of Tetuan, or a. Senor Moret
d’Prendergrast now occur respectively
as Ministers of Foreign Affairs or of
the Colonies, in the dispatches we read
from Spain. These are the descend-
ants of Irish gentlemen whose estates
were confiscated in the numerous wars
for the conquest and subjugation of
Ireland, and of which train of events
the rebellion of 1798 was the sequel and
The rebellion of 1798 was, however;
the revolt of a freedom-loving Protes-
tant democracy touched into explosion
at sight of the horrid wrongs of a. loyal,
brave, and oppressed Catholic peasan-
try. It- was also as much a conse-
quence of the action in 1776 of Jeffer-
son, and .Washington, and Adams, as
was the French revolutiou of 1793.
Though it fizzled out during the sum-
mer, when the year 1798 opened there
were nearly 600,000 of the 2,500,000 of
males then in the country enrolled in a;
pledged to. die for their native land.
But the Government found means to
disarrange this formidable organiza-l
tion. They succeeded in sowing dis-i
trust between the leaders and their
followers. When the peasantry were
drawn away by the Government prom- ;
ising concessions—that substituted

leaders who were hung, imprisoned, orl
exiled. Only three out of the thirty- i
two counties therefore came to the
front in the rebellion, but in these the f
peasantry fought bravely; and Wex-‘
ford, Oulart, Vinegar Hill, New Ross,é
and Enniscorthy remain in Irish songi
and story to attest what a change?
might have been wrought in Ireland:
had the united Irishmen, North and
South, stood together in 1798. The;
rebellion was timed to take place in
March, 1798, Ulster agreeing to furnish
110, 000, Munster 100 643, and Leinster.
55, 672 men.
The Government, however, having
captured the leaders stunned the chief
end ‘of the revolt so effectually that
the great body of' the people did not?
rise at all; and hence it was in coun—_’
ties where no preparations were made
and no promises given that was seen
liberty. The people who did rise were:
armed with pikes for the most part, a2
primitive sickle-shaped weapon with a‘
long handle and which was utterly in—
adequate to contend with the sabrcs of
the yeomanry. Others bad old flint-E
locks, but by far the larger proportion:
were armed only with pitchforks,.
scythes, or anyavailable weapons foundi
around a farmyard. That the peasan-‘
try could make any defence whatever?
against British power undel these cir-1
cumstances is marvellous, particularly!
as the insurgents were not always able
bodied men, but were recruited from
boys, old men and sometimes even wo-
men. Yet at Vinegar Hill and Oulart
the King’s troops fared as badly as at
Concord or at Lexington. Ab‘the lat-
ter place the royalist troops attempted.

to dislodge the insurgents who.skill-?
fully manoevured to draw the fire of.
the soldiery. For this purpose the in-
surgents withdrew behind an embank-
ment and raising their hats upon the;
handles of their pitchforks a little over
the level of the embankment, the 501-;
diers, mistaking the hats for ‘heads,!'
fired over the fence or into the field:!
beyond. As soon as the soldiers drew
near the embankment fancying the
Irishmen. were all killed, the latter
sprang up "and simultaneously dis;

the faces of the red coats with tre-
Thcn with a. Wild
bankment and wielding pike and
scythe, blade and pltchfork, they soon
discarded the attacking regiment and
p.
secured from the soldiers more for-
midable weapons.
No less dexterous and brave was the
conflict at Vinegar Hill, where envelop—
ed in smoke and flame both side!
fought valiantly, disputing every 111011
of ground: the same position beingcap‘ “
tured and lost by each party in suc-
cession. An English observer of this
battle says: “A small number of them
(the Irish) only had fire-arms, but the
pike-men, wonderfully tall, stout.
Strapping, able fellows, fought with
their pikes in the most furious and
desperate manner, thrusting at the sol-
diers who had much ado to parry with
their bayonets afte; having fired and
before they could reload.”
Better arrangements could have
shown no braver spirit. For three
weeks the rebels held possession of
Vinegar Hill, making it the base of
their operations, and from which
strategic position they commanded the
town of Enniscorthy. Field glasses
were‘not in vogue in ’98 and in all en-
counters between the patriots and the
forces of the Crown, the bills were
strong objective points.
In Antrim too there were some stiff -
brushes between the Presbyterians of
the North and George the Third’s mill-
tia, and in one of which engagements
a grand uncle of President McKinley’s
fell nobly fighting, the sept of the Mc-
Kinleys, of Dervock, being among the
staunchest patriots of the period. It

tory that in the first centennial year

nephew of the patriot, McKinley, is

world; and the same power that ruth-
lessly executed the ancestor, is now a.

ant! Such ‘are the chances and

It will be of considerable help to re-
member that military and naval rank
correspond in this way:
Admiral (when t: .13 office is created)
to general.
Vice admiral (when the omce is
created) to lieutenant general.
Rear admiral to major general.
Commodore 'fb-‘vbrigadier general.
Captain to colonel.
Commander to lieutenant colonel.
Lieutenant commander to 'major.
Lieutenant to captain.
Lieutenant, junior grade, to first
.ieutenant.
Ensign to second lieutenant.
Considering only the two ‘ highest
grades now actually held, the number
of officers in each since 1882 hasbeen
six rear admirals and ten commodores.
The present rear admirals in order
of seniority are:
l
of the Mare Island Navy Yard, San
Francisco, retires July 3, 1898.
Joseph N. Miller, commanding Pa-
cific station, retires Nov. 22, 1898.
Montgomery Sicard, on duty in the
office of the Secretary of the Navy, re-
tires Sept. 30, 1898.
I Edmund 0. Matthews, president of
the Naval Examining Board, retires
Oct. 24, 1898.
Charles. S. Norton, commanding
Washington Navy Yard, retires this
year.
Francis M. Bunce, commanding
Brooklyn Navy Yard, retires this year.
Oflicers of the navy may be retired
on their own application after forty
years’ service, and. those above the
rank of lieutenant commander must
retire upon their reaching the age of
62. Those below that rank are re-
'tired for physical or mental disabil'ty.
The pay of retired naval officers is , ,
three-quarters of their sea pay of the
rank they held at the time of their
5;.retirement At sea a rear admiral
receives 86, 000 a year; on shore duty,
8,5 000, and on leave or waiting orders,
$4, 000. Commodoaes are paid $1, 000
'less in all three lines of employment.
be assigned to active duty except in
:time of war, and the purpose of the
Administration so far has been not to
assign retired officers in the army or
navy to field or sea duty, but to let
these posts of danger be held by those
still on the active list. Of course,
such work as the command of the mos-
quito fleet along the coast is expected.
This has been given to Admiral Er-
ben who was retired four or five years
ago
' Until the second year of the civil
war the highest naval rank was that
‘of captain, though generally the title
;of commodore was given to a flag ofli-
gcer who commanded a squadron. In
'1862 the rank of rear admiral was
{created by Congress, and to this grade
;were appointed Farragut and three
other active captains, and about a.
dozen retired captains. In 1864, for
his capture of Mobile, and subsequent
successes, Farragut was appointed to
the newly created rank of vice admiral,
‘and later D. D. Porter and Stephen C.
Rowan were given the same rank. Af-
fter'the war ended, Congress went a
Lstep further, and made the grade of ad-
miral, and to this grade promoted
Farragut and Porter. There was a

GOLD MINING AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY OF YUKON.
PRICE OF SHARES T0 BE ADVANCED AUGUST 3|, l898.
Mr. Joseph Ladue, the pioneer of the Klondike, and founder of
Dawson City, aided by some of the most conservative and successful finan-
ciers of New York, is operating the strongest company yet formed for
mining and trading in the Yukongold fields.
To this Company he has transferred placer claims on Hunker and
Gold Bottom Creeks, the “ Marguerite” Quartz Mine, his Saw Mill,
his Timber Lease, that virtually monopolizes the saw timber on the
Klondike, and large holdings of Choice Town Lots in Dawson City.
The Company also owns the S. S. “ Morgan City” now earning $20,000 per
month, and has shipped up the Yukon several hundred tons of merchandise,
for trade, upon which a very large profit is assured. The U. S. Government
reports certify that the saw mill produces about two million feet of lumber
in the open season, sales price of which 15 from $140 to 5240 per I ,000 feet
according to class.
CAPITAL or THE COMPANY. ,
Preferred Stock, 611 cumulative, $1,000,000 '
Common Stock, 4,000,000
Total Capital, par value. 510 per share, m
The preferred stock has a first lien on earnings for its dividend,
and on the assets of the Company for its par value, and after all the
stock of the Company has received 6 per cent, the surplus earnings are
shared pro rata by the preferred and common stock.
Thus the preferred stock practically offers the safeguards and advantages
of a first mortgage bond, coupled with an earning capacity as great as that of
the common stock.
The undersigned has obtained a short option on a block of this preferred
stock which he now offers at par, $10.00 per share. This option terminates
August 3ISt, 1898, after which the price of the preferred stock will be .
advanced by the Company to $12. 50 per share.
This is the last opportunity to get the preferred stock at par, and
in time to participate in the autumn dividend. Shares will be alloted in the
order subscriptions are received.
